War Child, the charity who raise funds to help children who affected by war, have organised a series of intimate gigs around London to raise funds.

Bands such as Bastille, Duran Duran and You Me At Six will play low-key sets to raise both awareness and funds.

Director of Music for War Child, Ben Knowles, told London Live what would be involved.

He said: “We’ve been lucky in the calibre of artists who’ve always supported us.

“I think it’s a cliché that music is this universal language that unifies people around the world, but that’s certainly true with young people and I think musicians have gravitated towards War Child because of that.”
